1) Quid Pro Quo (this for that): This ranges from a literal trade of job benefits for sexual favours, to more insidious things, such as having job benefits tied to submission of sexual conduct.

2) Hostile Environment: This involves a pattern of comments or touch of sexual nature that impacts one’s ability to function at work. Examples include: inappropriate jokes, derogatory language, sexual pictures or porn displayed, or failure to prevent from any of these behaviours.

Workplace sexual harassment isn’t always clear to see. If you are concerned about you or someone else experiencing sexual harassment, REACH OUT and take action!
